Sing patriotic songs like America the Beautiful and fun songs like Gilligan's Island and Flintstones. Show Wisconsin what respect for free speech looks -- and sounds -- like. Because the permit system assures everyone can have access to their Capitol and WE GOT A PERMIT!

Word is that Americans for Prosperity are busing in Teapublicans from Illinois so that they can reach 20 people to make the permit worthwhile.

And they are sure going to show us, because nothing says Free Speech like asking permission from Dear Leader to use it. I wouldn't be surprised if Blaska already has a song list from Mike Huebsch.

I would hope and expect that the Solidarity Singers will hold with tradition and move outside as they have done any other time there as been a permitted event inside.

I mean, just because Blaska is the permit holder and thus is legally responsible for any and all costs associated with his event, whether or not it was his fault, should be no reason for any of the singers to stoop to their level and disrupt their squawking.

How does "I'm a good ol' rebel" go?Considering it was... wait for it. . . the Dixiecrats (that is, southern democrats) that wanted to keep the old south alive, it seems as if you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Another lib/dem that doesn't know history, or is revising history because they are ashamed of their political party's history.The first black congressmen, ALL of them, were republicans. It was the southern Democrats that wanted to continue slavery. It was Senator Robert Byrd (a democrat, in case you forgot. Also the Grand Wizard of the KKK, a title that no Republican has ever held.) that filibustered the Civil Rights Act. No republican filibustered that act.Go learn your history. Come back when you can speak accurately.

YOu should be proud that the the roots of the KKK are the democratic party. You should be proud that it was the democrats that stood up and fought against equal rights for African-Americans. You should be proud that it was democrats that wanted to keep institutional and generational slavery in place, and were willing to fight a war to keep it in place. It is part of the rich history of the democratic party, and you should proudly proclaim it.

As if we didn't already know WHAAAA-ska hadn't evolved past middle school and lived off Wingnut Welfare. What a needy loser.

And of course, our media will give that needy loser and the handful of Astroturfers the Kochs send up as much attention as the hundreds of Solidarity Singers who'll be outside. You know, to be "fair and balanced." By the way, why does WHAAAA-ska and the AFP puppets have all this time on their hands. Don't they have jobs? :P

Diva- Don't boo- laugh at em. Like most adolescents, being shown to be stupid and irrelevant in front of others is WHAAA-ska's real fear. Hence his constant need for attention and leeching off of other no-talents like Icki McKenna.

Just pointing out, that all Blaska is is a show pony. There is nothing groundbreaking or courageous or even telling about his little gathering today.

Its not hard to show up and sing the praises of someone. Everyone here knows that the blaska group could show up everyday and sing without a permit and never get arrested , bothered or touched by any of the Capitol police.

Republicans dont get arrested has been the mem of the JB Van Hollen terms...

so just pointing out that its not that hard, it gets messy in a democracy when you protest those in power not when you kiss their rings!

Noticing a verbal tic, Jeff. Whenever you say "everybody knows" (and you use that cliche often) it really means "I have no basis of support for this statement so this is the best I can do." As for something else that is not hard, Jeff: getting a permit.

Sorry I was basing that on paying attention diring his reign. See, Kratz, Ken. Or GTAC or the Knot my Wisconsin Death threat goons, the list goes on and on...but since you didnt even know the koch brothers opened up an office across from the Capitol I should not have expected you to know any of this stuff.

Too many twinkies perhaps?

PS...you never answered. WHO EXACTLY applied for the permit today? is it a secret?

Thanks for getting that permit and thanks for showing the world what we already knew!

Good to see your profile pic is an accurate portrayal, you are indeed a puppet. Unlike Mike Ditka who has a job in fact he owns a few restaurants. Perhaps if you whine enough he will give you a job washing the dishes with your tears since that's all you're really good for. Isn't that a good idea Whaska Blaska who crushes on the ditsy beauty queen from Alaska?

If they want to get a permit and sing, more power to them. More power to any citizens coming to the Capitol to assemble, petition, observe and dissent. You don't need a permit for that. It's a good thing to have citizens at the Capitol. It's good to know that Blaska can afford the liability associated with getting a permit.

I find it utterly hilarious that the Blah-ska guy is either googling his name to see if anyone gives a shit about his "event" (that will undoubtedly contain most of what these events orchestrated by RWNJ do, people living off of the system) or he's anxiously monitoring every potential media site looking to see if they are giving him attention (probably gets a chub when his name is on the screen). It's also relieving that he isn't procreating. With all that time on his hands to puff out his chest and blow hot air he should get a fucking job and stop sucking off the government teat. Moochers like him wouldn't know an honest day's work if it dressed up like a Teabag and hit him in the face. But that's what Walker and his band of merry tea-drinkers creates; the Welfare collecting, overweight, crybaby, knuckle dragging, women hating, illiterate card carrying members of the Tealiban for Jeezus. Don't forget your packet of kool-aid and pound of sugar you bought with your food stamps, we wouldn't want you getting dehydrated and needing to use your Guvmint healthcare.

Mr. Blaska,Given your "political beliefs", I am suprised that you are not more outraged the dismantling of our constituional rights. Nothing near what true conservatism represents. Sad day for you and all of us.

Be well and enjoy your sing along. Too bad you need a permit to assemble and express your views.
